Steve and Me
The Stephen Lawrence tragedy - the night that changed race relations in Britain forever - is well known. Duwayne Brooks was Stephen's best friend and this is his story. It is one of friendship, of courage, a story of what really happened on the night of 22 April, 1993. It is also a warm, and in places heartbreaking account of someone who found themselves in circumstances too appalling to contemplate. As Duwayne's own story, the book also focuses on the way he himself was treated, both by his lawyer and the police, and sheds light on the manner in which the whole ordeal has been handled.

Written from the perspective of the ‘policed’, the author draws on extensive fieldwork and his first-hand experience of police infiltration through his participation in climate campaigns.

More Than Words
Young people develop their value systems during their school years, offering the perfect window of opportunity for educators to challenge prejudice and promote race equality during these formative years. Yet, as teacher training is increasingly school-centred and school budgets are stretched more thinly than ever, most teachers do not feel they have the time to develop the language or skills to do so. More Than Words is an easily implementable tool for all educators - teachers, senior leaders, governors and support staff - to help them look beyond fire-fighting racist incidents to create long-term systemic changes. Supporting teachers in a non-judgemental fashion, this book dismantles any myths they may be harbouring so they can engage with issues with an open mind, allowing them to create positive change. This comprehensive guide helps school staff to create a safe, inclusive and supportive environment for all young people.
